Peer Academic Coaching
Peer Academic Coaching provides relaxed open study spaces for students to work individually or in study groups. During these sessions, students have the opportunity to receive content support from Peer Academic Coaches (PACs), attend workshops, learn subject-specific study skills, and participate in exam review sessions. Students will always know when and where they can access peer support.

accountability groups
Accountability Groups are small groups of students (usually 3-10 people) who meet weekly for structured study. Peer Academic Coaches are available to help break down larger assignments, create study goals, and offer academic coaching. Two hour sessions include two 5-10 minute check-in/goal setting followed by independent work time.
To sign up for an Accountability Group, please email bpashley@skidmore.edu.
